So this is the capital's red-light district?
It's making my heart race.
Oh, your straight-laced reaction is really cute.
All right, I better start working, debts don't pay themselves.
Transform: Lionelle!
Okay!
Changing into this form always gets me pumped!
Now, let's sneak in and kill them.
Eh?
W-Wai...
W-What?!
No!
kokoro ni kakushiteta omoi
心に隠してた想い
The feelings hidden within my heart

静かに言葉で刻んで
I silently put them into words

踏み出す手探りな明日へ
Using each step I take to feel out a new tomorrow

With a strong, unfaltering gaze

I want to be someone who can accept any future that comes

走る衝動に任せて 広がる世界へ
I give way to my dashing momentum, onward toward an expanding world

変わる運命に答えがあると信じて
Believing there's an answer within this changing fate

あの日鮮明に描いた変わらない夢は
The unchanging dream I drew out so vividly that day

Will surely take me past the limits I felt

揺るぎない声にして届けるきっと
If I use an unwavering voice, I'm sure it'll be heard

いつか辿り着くその時まで
At least until I arrive there myself
Kill the Absolute Justice
And we're here.
You call that "sneaking in"?
Take a look.
Nice. Very nice.
Keep earning money, and I'll bring you more drugs, okay?
Yes.
Huh?
Hey Boss, take a look at this one.
She's no good anymore.
She smells like fish and is broken.
Get rid of her.
Replace her with a new one.
Please, more drugs!
Let's find some more dumb chicks from the slums.
Yeah.
Those nobodies will do anything for money, after all.
They're cruel, just like the request said.
Unforgivable!
The girl that just got hit,
I knew her from the slums.
I'm pissed!
Let's hurry up and finish off these targets.
Roger that.
Boss, isn't it time we expanded our drug territory?
You're right.
We should go to Chibul-sama's place to discuss it.
The only place you're going...
is hell!
I-Intruders!
Get rid of them!
Our target is the drug-smuggling gang,
but you share their guilt.
So you can all die together!
Kill them!
N-No way...
I won't be killed so-
You can beg the devil for mercy.
What's your goal?
Money?
Drugs?
I'll give you anything, just let me go.
No, thanks.
We only want your life.
W-Who the heck are you?!
We're nobodies!
That's why disposing society's garbage suits us just fine.
Say, what will happen to those broken girls now?
That's not our problem, is it?
But...
There's an old, retired doctor in the slums, but he's still pretty skilled.
I'll explain the situation and have him take a look.
He loves young girls, so I'm sure he'll help.
Nee-san!
You're kind after all!
It's only because I knew one of them.
There's no other reason.
The reason doesn't matter.
Even if it's just a little, they can have hope now.
Tatsumi, I've thought this before, too.
Sometimes, you can be really cute.
W-Wha-
I was literally marking you!
If you grow up to be a good man, you're mine!
Well then, I wonder if the others are okay.
That Chibul was way too wary.
Still, we finished him off safely.
An enemy?
What's with her?
I didn't feel her presence at all.
She seems different from the other guards.
As I thought.
She's the one on this wanted poster.
It's Night Raid's Sheele.
Since she has a Teigu, the other one must be from Night Raid as well.
Hiding myself and waiting night after night was worth it.
Finally...
We finally meet, Night Raid!
I'm Seryu Ubiquitous of the imperial guard!
In the name of justice, I shall make evil pay, here and now!
Since you know who we are,
we have to take you with us or kill you.
"Wanted dead or alive."
If that's the case, I'll execute them myself!
My father died in the line of duty, fighting villains like you!
And you killed my mentor, Captain Ogre!
I'll never forgive you!
She seems serious.
In that case, the one who strikes first has the advantage!
Did I get her?
Mine, that's a Teigu.
Seems like it.
What's more, a biological one?
Tonfa gun!
Even if I hit them, it won't be very effective from this distance.
Koro, prey!
I'm sorry.
It was in the book, Sheele.
Unless you destroy a biological Teigu's hidden core, they'll keep regenerating.
It doesn't have a heart, so even Akame's Murasame wouldn't work.
He's quite the troublesome opponent, isn't he?
Koro, arms.
Eww, disgusting.
Pulverise!
Mine, get behind me!
Heavy!
A storm of attacks.
And she called for reinforcements.
This is truly a pinch!
That's why I'm gonna fire!
It got stronger?
Damn!
It already started regenerating!
What incredible life force!
Don't underestimate the stamina of a Teigu.
Teigu are tools.
Once its user has been killed, it'll stop right away.
She was aiming for me from the start!
I'll finish her with my secret ability!
Extase!
The metal is glowing?
What the...?
It's over.
She's strong!
Whoops!
You're fighting me.
I won't let you go!
Because I'm in less of a pinch now, its power decreased.
But it's enough to keep it busy.
And I'm starting to figure out where the core might be by process of elimination.
No!
She sacrificed her arms to avoid a fatal wound.
Justice will always prevail!
Body modification?
This is the trump card the Captain gave me!
Take this!
She blocked it?
I'm not done yet.
If I use it, Koro will overheat and be temporarily immobilised,
but I have no other choice!
Koro, secret ability!
Berserker!
So she had a secret skill too!
Damn-
Mine!
Crush her!
Sheele!
I made it just in time!
My body...
...won't move.
Justice is served!
She-
Sheele!
How dare you...
How dare you do that to Sheele?
This broken arm won't stop me!
What?
What's this?
Be careful!
We don't know what might happen!
Extase.
Sheele!
She's fighting in that state?!
Run while you still can, Mine!
B-But...
Mine, I'm glad I was useful in the end.
Koro, hurry up and finish her!
Night Raid...
The place where I belonged.
Congratulations on Getting Your Own Teigu
I loved all of you.
It was really fun.
I'm sorry, Tatsumi.
I won't be able to hug you again.
W-What was that light just now?
Hey, Seryu, are you all right?
I did it!
She'd have been a worthy opponent if she'd abandoned her comrade like a proper villain.
What a half-hearted person.
Father, I defeated one of the villains.
The light of justice shone upon the world!
W-Who did it, Mine?
Hey, Mine!
Hey!
Wait, Tatsumi.
What do you intend to do after hearing it?
Isn't it obvious?!
I'll avenge her!
Stop.
Jumping in without a plan will only increase the body count.
Our friend was killed!
Hey, I can't sit here and-
That's pathetic, Tatsumi!
Get it together!
Didn't we tell you that any of us could die at any moment?!
Didn't you join us knowing that?!
You were only doing your duty.
This is our punishment.
I know this.
But you killed Sheele.
And you'll continue coming after us.
That's why I'm gonna take you down, Seryu Ubiquitou!
Sheele's death was not in vain.
The empire should understand it now, too.
It takes Teigu to fight Teigu.
Fights with Teigu users will increase from now on.
For us, it's a chance to collect more Teigu.
The struggles are just beginning, Tatsumi!
I'm home, capital.

Of the weaknesses I've never shown anyone, one has come tumbling out
